Joan Baez will release her first-ever Poetry Book on April 30 “When You See My Mother, Ask Her to Dance: Poems”
In the last 20 years, I've had two hits
So I'll sing one of them for you now
I was not cut out to make hit singles
But if they happen you find that financially they are very useful
My poetry was lousy you said... Joan Baez canta "Diamonds And Rust" - Kalvøya (1978)

What on earth is going on here!?
In true CFTR fashion, I was looking for something else - a video of his clear goldfish guitar to hear what is sounded like - and came across this spinning gem of crazy wigs video. I may not sleep tonight. Again. Perhaps from one of his comedy albums. Mason Williams "A Major Thang" on The Ed Sullivan Show

(Some of) The Brothers Carradine
Keith could play any instrument including bagpipes and the French horn. He won a Golden Globe and an Oscar for Best Original Song for Nashville's I'm Easy. In 1984, he appeared in the music video for Madonna's single "Material Girl." In the early 1990s, he played the lead role in the Tony Award–winning musical The Will Rogers Follies.
"I'm easy" - Keith Carradine
David sang and played the piano, the guitar, and the flute, among other instruments. In 1970, he played one half of a flower-power beatnik duo in the season 4 Ironside episode, "The Quincunx", performing the songs "I Stepped on a Flower", "Lonesome Stranger", and "Sorrow of the Singing Tree".
Bound For Glory - Oklahoma Hills
While still in high school, Robert lived with his half-brother, David, in Laurel Canyon. He indulged in race car driving and music. He and David belonged to a musical quartet that performed in small clubs in LA and San Fran. In 1983, he starred in the music video for The Motels hit song "Suddenly Last Summer" as lead singer Martha Davis' love interest.

Well, my annual check for a decent clip of Black Eyed Girl is once again a bust. What a surprise.
Alternatively, this one brings great joy. I would love to know what has caused the irrepressible smile. Backing vocals to chill a martini.
Am I truly to believe the song is about his arrival in Hollywood and not the black eyed girl?
More importantly, is that the San Diego chicken up on someone's shoulders? Hopefully not for the whole concert.

Before SNL closes up shop, I still dream of a skit where Keef is Keef in public but then we see him backstage on a 180 - no mumbling bumbling or cigarette stubs - he is checking his stock portfolio, writing poetry, painting a masterpiece, solving world conflicts and curing cancer.

Keith Richards - Umano non Umano - 1969 galacticgirrrl, Keith Richards never seemed to embrace the synthesizer that I'm aware - certainly not by the early 1970s, so I'm thinking there was a remoteness to the instrument that the blues rocker just couldn't get into. Perhaps if Richards had been more of a keyboardist... |

I may have too much Taplow on my mind today but this child seems to have IT. So touching to see him grow up across his platforms. The irrepressible smile that keeps popping out is priceless and interesting he has chosen an old movie house as the setting for one of his first original songs/videos.

Still on my internets wish list: footage of Kirsty solo acoustic. [insert large sigh here]
This one is a wee bit of a cheat shall we say but I do love the guitar solo at the end <wink wink nudge nudge>
Kirsty's version of her song "Terry" was released over a year before Tracey Ullman's cover. Both were minor UK hits. Another great Stiff Records video clip with a cameo appearance by Ade Edmondson.

The joys and the heartbreaks of digital nomads on the internets:
From the comment section
How lovely to come across this. I conducted this interview in Jeff's studio. I remember it so well and we jammed this and Lady Madonna together later on. I'm a songwriter myself and spent an hour or so discussing the mechanics of the song. I left the BBC before the project this interview was for was completed and glad to see someone did something with it. I wonder where it came from?
This was part of a mini-series. We filmed hour long interviews with a lot of people. Some finance guy had screwed the deal up so it never got used. I think the tapes are still at the BBC. Who did I interview? Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Hal Blaine, Carol Kaye for Good Vibrations, Steve Miller, Hsl David and Dionne Warwick, Bill Withers, Weill and Mann, Nancy Sinatra, Jeff, Status Quo, Oasis, Ultravox, Texas, 10cc, Alice Cooper, Procol Harum and about -5 others. None of it used - though I guess some of the tapes like this one were recycled online by Radio 2 or something. I have thought about it as a set of filmed live events....
I see he is a self proclaimed naughty tot composer. XOXO.

I interrupt my own Jeff Lynne catalogue download/upload for A Quick One with my favorite Rock'n'Roll Freemason. (we will save favorite Classical and Jazz Freemason selections for future musical interludes).
Because the number 3 and the letter 'B' are of particular significance to, music written in the keys of C minor or E flat major, which both involve 3 flats, (whose symbol '♭' resembles the lowercase letter 'b'), in their key signatures has been considered especially appropriate for masonic ceremonial music.
The double-drop d makes this one not fit for fine secret lodge dining me'thinks.

I adored every moment of Monday night's concert...even falling down drunk guy.....however....
Jeff has lived in LA too long. The Brummie is all but gone from this one word which I really missed: Telly phone line is now tele phone line. So pedestrian.
Didn’t your mom ever tell you it’s rude to wear sunglasses indoors?
No, what she said was, “You did look an old wreck on the TV,” and I immediately put on sunglasses because I didn’t want to look like that. Because I’d been out all night boozing, I suppose. She always went on about my eye bags. That’s why I’ve always worn them. People would think, “He’s turned into some flashy git with his sunglasses at night,” but it wasn’t that at all. I just didn’t want to show my eye bags.
